In this special (and not in a good way) episode of "Who Spectates the Spectators?" host Eric Perry sits down with the editor-in-chief of The Spectator, Katelyn Whitlock. They discuss how Concordia University Chicago is pulling funding for The Spectator, the cutting of the journalism program, and what The Spectator will look like in fall 2026. Spoiler: we don't know! This episode also discusses the history of The Spectator at CUC, the options that are being explored to keep it alive, and what the loss of the student newspaper could mean to CUC. Another spoiler: nothing good!
